This is a review for the dinner menu. This place is a hidden gem. The only reason we knew about it, is because I love Antonia Lofaso from Food Network!
My recommendation would be to just order a bunch of different small shareable plates so you can sample the variety of things. They are all SO good. I would do this instead of focusing on the “mains.”
It is quite dark and dim inside, but that is the cozy and intimate vibe.
The food was absolutely amazing. We had the spicy chicken wings, bolognese, corn ravioli, lamb skewers, hamachi, & peach cobbler. It was all incredibly delicious. Our server Kristen was an absolute gem. We are huge fans of Antonia’s and we were not disappointed!!!
All I have to say is WOW! What a fantastic time here for dinner while in town visiting. The food was amazing. Best meatballs ever. The sea bass was great. Chicken bao was soo good. Maggie our server was so sweet and even helped me play a trick on my girlfriend and we got her to believe that I ordered a Fluffernutter desert for our appetizer. 😆 we recieved such great service that we will definitely return on our visits to Cali!!

It had been a few years since I was last here for a Mom Night Out and this place has aged well! We had such a fabulous evening. Perfect really. I think that this restaurant is best with people you really want to share with ... food, cocktails, laughs. The atmosphere is conducive to talking and a lot of the food is best shared! We shared the deviled quail eggs first, which were so dillicous and such a perfect tiny bite. The painkiller and son of a beesting cocktails were unique and delicious. We shared the meat balls next and these are the BEST meat balls I've ever had in my life. (Yup go ahead and joke but go for the balls). We all had different mains my friends had the papardeli and gnudi which they both loved ... I had the tiny but mighty lobster roll. Perfect ratio of buttery bread to creamy delicious lobsterness. My last cocktail was the Fade to Black 🖤 and we finished our lovely evening with the chocolate bread pudding. It's really satisfying to have such a great dessert at the end of a meal. Can't wait to to come back soon.

The place is inviting and casual. I loved the brick ceiling as it gave a European vibe. The tapas style food was perfect to accompany our drinks. We had a lobster pasta, spring rolls, taquitos and Mexican corn. The oysters were a plus! Fresh and tasty. The only concern we had is the tables weren't very accommodating for my tall husband and his tall friend but we made it work.
I love this place every time I go. The food is amazing and delicious. My favorite thing is the smoked trout ciabatta. You can never go wrong with pretty.much anything on the menu, I'm pretty sure I've had almost everything 😂.
Great ambiance in a cool building. Food is above average. My favorite was the fried cauliflower, yum! The dining room is sooooo loud, though. I was with a big group, and it was so hard to hear. My main dish was pasta. It was ok, kinda boring, and soaked in butter. Goat cheese seemed non-existent. Service was mediocre, nothing terrible, just not amazing. Water glasses are almost as small as a shot glass, which was odd. Heat was blasting in the women's bathroom, weird too!! Best was the re-imagined take on a fluff r nutter sandwich. It was super sweet but delicious.
Love Black Market! Great food, yummy cocktails. We went for brunch and had the chicken and waffles, biscuits and gravy, fried cauliflower, and of course bottomless mimosas. All was so good, I forgot to snap pics but had the churros for desert and they were great.
Love it! Flavours and temperature of the dishes came out just right. Great for sharing. Love it that they have skirt steak, meatballs were juicy and the tomato sauce is just to die for. Wish there's more bread!🤣
Came here for brunch. One of the best places I had for brunch. Bottomless mimosas and so many fun different flavors to choose from! The food were so tasty! Ordered a bunch of food but forgot to take more photos as it looked so appetizing we all dug right in for most of them. Great atmosphere and customer service. Definitely will come back.
Delicious tapas-style restaurant. I’d recommend ordering about 3 plates for 2 people. Small plates packed with unique flavor! Chicken taquitos are a must have!
Great atmosphere, loved the outdoors seating. Quick service and brought out one dish at a time in my case which was excellent so nothing got cold.
Pictured: Chi Chi drink (very strong, shareable, and great flavor), chicken bao (delicious), spring rolls (eh), and the chicken taquitos (12/10, one of my favorite dishes I’ve ever had!). Highly recommend this place.

It was early Saturday Evening and the place was starting liven up. We had never been here before but we read up on the place and the menu was pretty diverse and to their point eclectic. Me and my wife had gathered up a nice appetite so we wanted to put the menu through its paces. The place itself sits on Ventura boulevard next to a breakfast place and a Ramen joint. We seated and the server was very informative about how the food was kind of like tapas style. Small to medium portions and for sharing. She was ultra attentive to our body language. After her presentation we decided on the,:
Crispy spring rolls, shiitake, cabbage, thai basil, cilantro, nuoc mam sauce. Their take on vietnamese deep fried rolls. It was good and had a nice tangy fish sauce. Next
Spicy korean chicken wings, cucumber kimchi, cilantro, mint, We were a little undecided about this one. It had neither a sustainable kick and the sauce was ambiguous as a Korean flavor. Next
Shrimp toast, sriracha, scallion, bonito, nori, sesame seeds. It came out and it was a little intimidating in its presentation. Almost a wiry square piece. Once we decided to just attack it it was soooo good. Flavors were vibrant. Love this and recommend it highly we finished it off with
Charred skirt steak, crispy onions, mustard aioli, parsley, garlic chips ( this will take a half hour to prepare so make sure you eat your "To Starts at a leisurely pace,) The meat was cooked prefect for us medium rare, I wouldn't say the best piece of meat but really tender and juicy. The accompanying crispy onions were good as well.
This place has great atmosphere, really loud and vibrant, Not a romantic place to have dinner though. Love to come back and try the other menu items. Awesome servers!
We ordered the beets, cauliflower, biscuits, and chilaquiles. The first three were great. The chilaquiles were fine but some bites were oddly a bit fishy.
Dining experience was rather pleasant, besides our struggle to find the restaurant. There isn’t much of a sign out front and no one answered our calls, which was rather annoying.
I was looking forward to this meal since seeing on DDD! Visiting from the east coast, the food was immaculate! The tagliatelle was one of the best dishes I’ve eaten. It was everything I thought it would be! Some other dishes we loved were the smoked trout, edamame and marshmallow fluff dessert was awesome!
I don’t typically go to the valley for dinner but really enjoyed sitting on the patio of this place. The quality of the food in relation to the price was just about right and fair in my opinion (as opposed to many average restaurants with astronomical prices these days). We ordered 3 tapas for the 2 of us. Trecce pasta was the winner, followed by the meatballs and lastly the roasted Brussel sprouts. I also liked the atmosphere and would come back again.
This always a great dining experience, friendly service, great drinks choice, and a unique take on familiar food items. Really enjoy going back, even when its been a while between visits.
Love this place. As soon as you walk in you fall in love with the place from the brick ceiling to the shelving of the alcohol to the both table with candle light. This place is amazing for any occasion. The food is amazing nothing i tried was a let down. The drinks out of this world. The crew new exactly how to make you feel welcomed. Definitely coming back here.
